Chapter 6: Confrontations
Tyr walked back to Buffy's room in a daze over what he had heard when Trance and Whilster had been talking. He was still trying to sort it out when he got to her room and knocked on her door. He walked into her room, not knowing what to say to her or tell her about what he had heard.
"Tyr?" Buffy asked, when he sat down on the end of her bed and looked to be brooding.
'He reminds me of Angel.' Buffy thought, as she looked at him curiously.
"I have to ask you something and I want you to tell me the truth." Tyr said finaly, turning to look at her.
"Okay. What?"
"Who is Angel?" he asked and he watched as her face closed up and she stood up and walked away from him.
"He was my ex-boyfriend, but he decided that we could not be together, so he left." Buffy said softly, trying not to dwell on the past.
"So," Tyr said, drawing her attention back to him, "he wasn't a vampire?" Buffy gasped in surprise and spun around to face him.
"Where did you hear that?" she asked, since she hadn't told anyone about Angel or anything from her past.
"Trance was talking to that Whistler person." Tyr said, before he could say anything else, Buffy spun around and walked swiftly out the door.
"Andromeda?" Buffy asked, her anger rising.
'Damn Powers that Be! They can't just come out and say what they want!' she thought as she stalked through the ship.
"Yes?"
"Were is Trance?" Buffy asked, through clenched teeth.
"She is on the command deck." Andromeda answered.
"Could you send her to the observation deck?" Buffy asked, her feet carrying her to the observation deck, where she began to pace back and forth.
"She is on her way." Andromeda told her. Buffy began to pace even faster, until she was running and a blur, she stopped altogether when Trance walked into the observation decks.
"Care to explain?" Buffy asked her, "Or should we call Whistler and have him explain?" Trance eyed her wearily, trying to figure out how much she knew.
"About what?"
"Why were you and Whistler discussing Angel and I? And why did you talk to Tyr about it?" Buffy asked and Trance sighed in relief as she realized that Buffy had not overheard the conversation, but only the Angel part.
"Well, Tyr must have been listening in on the conversation that Whistler and I were having." She told the slayer, hoping that that would appease her.
"Yes, but that does not explain why you were discussing me and Angel." Buffy said.
"That would be my fault, kid." Whistler said, as he appeared on the observation deck, instinctively staying out of reach of the very pissed of slayer. Buffy raised an eyebrow at him and waited for him to continue. "Well, you see it's like this. When you jumped into the portal, you actually jumped through time, because the Power that Be need you here. And because you jumped Angel greeted the sunrise the following day." Buffy thought about what he was saying and then she thought about all the similar characteristics that Tyr and Angel had and she glared.
"They put him in Tyr didn't they?" she asked, although it was more of a statement than anything else. "And what do the powers want now?" Whistler and Trance shifted uncomfortably, trying to figure a way to say it, without making it seem like she was being forced. Buffy eyed the two beings and then she thought about Angel's soul being in Tyr's body and it all began to add up. "They want me and Tyr?" she asked, trailing off at the end, leaving the rest unspoken. Trance and Whistler nodded unhappily and they both stepped further back as the slayer emerged, taking full control. They both beat a hasty retreat, leaving Buffy alone to think.
Buffy felt them leave, but she did not care, she was trying to absorb what she had been told. She felt the slayer take control of their body and she willing gave it to her. She watched as the slayer went through a blur of fighting motions, trying to get rid of their excess energy, but to no avail and Tyr, being so unlucky, chose that moment to walk in.
"Are you okay." He asked.
"No." she told him, feeling the anger quickly return.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No."
"Tough." Tyr told her. "I heard some pretty interesting things and I want it explained to me." He told her, in a tone that broached no argument.
"I do not give a damn right now."
"Let's start with, why I have Angel's soul." Tyr started and was rewarded with a quick hit to the stomach from Buffy.
"I told you I do not want to talk to you right now." Buffy said. "I just found out that I jumped into a portal through time and into a world where my first lover, Angel, greeted the sunrise when I died the second time and that The Powers that Be put his soul in your body, so that I would fall in love with you and we could create a child!" Buffy said, yelling by the end of the sentence. "I do not feel like talking to you right now." Tyr looked stunned, hearing it from Trance and Whistler was different than hearing it from Buffy. With Trance and Whistler he could chalk it up to lies, but he trusted Buffy with his life, which was unusual for him.
"Hey, guys." Trance said, "Can I talk to you?" not waiting for an answer, she walked in.
"When you died, again, the slayer potential passed to Dawn, because the monks had made her of you. What they hadn't counted on was that the magic from the Key would change the slayer magic, so that it started to pass down through your family line." Trance started to explain. "But another thing they had not counted on was that when Dawn slept with Spike the magic changed it so that she could get pregnant, creating a new race, my race." Trance looked between the two, making sure that they were both following. "As you have already figured out, Angels' soul is in Tyr's body and you have figured out why too. The Powers that Be do not want to force you, but the fate of the universe is in your hands." Trance stopped and looked at them, both of them looked thoughtful, Buffy started to nod and Trance looked hopeful.
"You can tell the Powers that Be," Buffy said looking at Trance, "To go to Hell." Buffy stormed out of the room.
"What she said." Tyr told Trance, taking the opposite way that Buffy had chosen.
